Goal

Our goal is to create positive, engaging, meaningful learning experiences for all students. By incorporating robotics into Math and Science lessons, we are able to deliver instruction in a way that will engage today’s student, while also giving them the opportunity to increase their coding, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities.

What will be done with my students

Make Block mBot is a kid-friendly programmable robot that that instantly engages students as it moves, lights up, and makes sounds. Students code mBot using a free app. Having multiple mBots in the classroom will allow us to use it in both whole-group and small-group Math and Science lessons where students collaborate to demonstrate their knowledge of multiplication, perimeter, fractions, light energy, and more!

Benefits to my students

These materials will be shared with the entire 4th grade team, allowing 90+ students to engage in collaborative STEM activities that foster creativity, problem-solving and joy for learning. mBot will allow students to engage in higher-order thinking tasks that combine real-world 21st century skills with math and science content in a way that is both meaningful and memorable.

Describe the Students

We are a Title 1, K-5 Countywide Engineering Magnet School in South St. Petersburg.

We have a very diverse population of students: 43% African American, 37% Caucasian, 2% Asian, 11% Hispanic, and 7% Multiracial, ASD units, ESE services, 20% enrolled in Advanced Academics programs.

Our school has jumped from a C to a B in the last schoolyear, and our hope is to continue to grow our students and our program. Thank you so much for considering us for this grant!

Budget Narrative

We are a tax exempt organization. Getting 6 robots would allow for small group collaboration in our 4th grade classrooms.
